[laughter] i got legislated with a very, very simple and direct campaign slogan. you can't do any worse. [laughter] tell me how i could make things worse? 3,000 murders? could unemployment go do 15%. maybe instead of 500,000 people moving out, 600,000 move out. give me a shot and let's see what can happen. my predecessor had done what a lot of people who should never be executives do. he appointed a commission to tell them how to straighten out of economy, but the commission was going to report after the election. the commission did report after the election. a month after while i was getting ready to get sworn in, and they presented 34 #e with thei

not do deficit spending. save that money the bankers were making administrating the loans and allow kids to get the loans directly from the school. what congressman akin said is that the federal packing of the loans is a problem. if that federal backing is not there, the private banks will not be making a loan. >> moderator: senator. thank you. we now need to proceed to the next segment of the program the questions from the audience. and the first question will be directed to senator, you will go first and have one and a half minutes. i was born in mexico and immigrated to the u.s. at the age of 4. since then my family and i have kept a close eye on the immigration policy and the working conditions of immigrants. if are re-elected, senator, or if you become a senator, congressman, how do you influence the policy and the related factors? mccaskill, first, we're a nation of immigrant. i'm a prosecutor and i believe in enforcing the law. i don't think anybody should be allowed to jump the line by breaking a law.

significant things like tax policy and policies on deficits. i think there is going to be a long period of time before we will get any action on this. i'm just talking about when someone puts out an idea, which has to be challenged in congress and debated, and then you get something fast, and then you have the implementation. after all, think about where we are as far as implementation in terms of obamacare. unfortunately, i am very pessimistic about when we finally get resolution. >> yes, sir. >> i am a student at harvard kennedy school. you started your remarks talking about the incredible remarks before the conservatorship. as we think about the entities that will follow, how we think about creating an appropriate amount of political installation against lobbying when it comes to capital requirements or appropriately pricing governments guarantee? >> that is a real important question. i can tell you that during my time in the conservatorship. we had really strong restrictions. we were not able to make any political contributions. not just th
